When producers and directors were courting Sivaji Ganesan, MGR directed and produced 'Nadodi Mannan' and showed that he can do it alone. He created history and stood his ground against one of the best actors in history, Sivaji Ganesan.
I grew as an actor just by watching Kamal Haasan acting. I had the good fortune of being able to observe Kamal Haasan from close quarters.
I play important roles in Vijay Antony's 'Saithaan,' 'Kadamban' and 'Vijay 60.'
Everyone's amazed by the question that how did I succeed as an actor in the industry, which has Kamal Haasan? It's because I grew as an actor watching Kamal's acting.
Of course, I have not just been a Sivaji Ganesan fan but a fanatic.
It is impossible to forget a great actor like Sivaji Ganesan.
I've admired Sivaji Ganesan ever since he staged 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman.'
In the beginning, in 1975, just how big a star Kamal Haasan was, today's generation does not know.
Usually, you know how politicians are. Whenever they are around, you will see at least 10-15 people by their side. But with Kamal Haasan, that's not the case.
Kamal Haasan is a huge talent.
It's a great honour for me to be a part of a Kamal Haasan film.
If Sivaji Ganesan was Nadigar Thilagam, Manorama was Nadigai Thilagam.
I was a huge Kamal Haasan fan, but not really a die-hard wackadoo.
Movies are truly in Kamal Haasan's blood in every sense of the term.
Politics is too big a game to feel the absence of a Kamal Haasan.
When it comes to Vijay Antony, he's very calculative and is ready to go to any extent for the success of the movie.
